DESSAU, GERMANY - JULY 10: Joern Gessner, a scientist with the Leibniz-Institute for Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (L) and Markus Baumer of the Saxony-Anhalt fishing association (R) release young European sturgeon (Acipenser Sturio) into the Mulde River on July 10, 2013 near Dessau, Germany. The European sturgeon was once common in the rivers of northern Germany and the North Sea, though overfishing decimated the population to extinction by the early 20th century. Today the European sturgeon has survived in the wild only in a few rivers in France, and the current repopulation effort in Germany is a joint project between French and German scientists.
